[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know before I even write this post that I'm going to get a lot of responses saying that I'm a nightmare to work for, if this is the worst thing about our nanny (which believe me, it isn't), I should thank my lucky stars, etc.  TBH I probably won't even say anything to her and this will probably end up being just a vent.  Our nanny started with us just a few months ago and I've noticed that she is pretty wasteful in using disposable goods.  I just bought a huge economy box of wipes at the end of February and was shocked to see we are down to our last pack.  She must go through about 10 wipes in the 3 hours/day she is with DC even though DC poops once (occasionally twice) with her.  We are going through the wipes more than twice as quickly (I know by looking at my Amazon orders) and at this rate, will be spending an extra $150/year on wipes...!  Which I think is pretty crazy considering she is only part-time.  She washes DC's dishes at the end of the night and our kitchen sponge is coming apart by the end of the week. ?!? [b] I replace the sponges monthly[/b], but they don't last even two weeks now.  I'm by no means a penny pincher, but I believe in not being wasteful and try to be environmental (I cloth diapered for the first year, I compost) so when I use paper goods, I try not to use more than I need.  I remember once DC's nose had a little snot just coming out of the nostril and she used a whole wipe (DC can't blow nose fyi) to wipe that tiny bit of snot.  I actually did say something to her then because it was just so outrageously wasteful.  Okay, flame away...[/quote]

Ew.  Germs.
